Obviously I can't hand out to many details as to what this project is, although I hope that wont hamper your input. I was leaning towards DRUPAL, any thoughts ?

Edit: I will give you a clue, this project will be aimed at the tech community. It is the goal of the project team to NEVER charge for the services we will render and NEVER use bias. We are currently 3 members but looking to expand.

To become a member of the project you shouldn't send an email saying 'pick me' or 'I want in' you should send an email with the following.

Who you are: DO NOT give an address or phone number. We are simply asking for a simple bio. Name interests etc.

What you bring to the table: Skills, knowledge, etc.

How you could help and why you would want to: Being open source/free means that this will not be a paying gig, just something by techies for techies. That being said tell us why you would want to help, and how you think you could.

What you've done: Any real world experience.

If you are accepted as a team member you will be put in the know. There are no strings attached and anyone can apply.so if you're looking to be a part of something bigger, let us know.

Drupal is probably your best bet. I know there are lots of them out there though. I haven't really used drupal since the 5.X days though. Not sure where they have taken the platform now.

I've never used a CMS, I was hoping not to but when you need the ability to add content fast and easily there is no substitute.I have installed DRUPAL 7 and Joomla on some test beds, really leaning towards DRUPAL, but I figured I would get a good opinion first.

The best CMS is the paid CMS. The difference between open source and paid CMS is that the paid systems are made by a Team in one place only, so the script they are using is more secure more stable because the programmers discuss all modules script between them.Open source is made by different people all over the world and is less secure and not so stable because there is no connection between different programmers and sometimes fraudulent people provide scripts.

The most powerful CMS are online shops, Google also has provided an excellent environment for shopping websites.

Not necessarily. The code for the core part of the open source projects are checked by a core team, so the core open source project is usually of good quality. However, you need to be careful with the add-on modules, since they are not as tightly controlled.

Also, just because a project is made by a company, does not mean it's of good quality (ex: <insert your favorite proprietary software punching bag here>). In addition, if the project allows community submitted modules, the modules face the same problems as community submitted modules for open source projects.

True. I've seen code used to develop billion dollar satellite systems that was frankly just horrible. Some of the code was literally copied verbatim from books, which would have been fine if it were approriate for the given task. It was pretty amazing.
